Replacement Bottle For Cleaner Arrives

The doorbell rang at about 9:15 this morning and there was a delivery guy with my replacement soap dispenser bottle for my $100 GMC water pressure cleaner. Here is a photograph of what arrived. Yes, a whole new pressure cleaner (and fully functioning soap bottle dispenser), a much better model than the original. You guess with current drought restrictions all along the east coast of Australia this must be the best way to empty their warehouses. You can just see the soap dispenser bottle just above the wheels! You can click on the picture for a larger view!

We visited our former neighbour's home about 20 minutes away to help celebrate the first birthday of their youngest child Emma on Saturday. Here is the happy family! Andrew's grandfather is originally from Ormond in Melbourne's south east. I spent much of my childhood in the neighbouring suburb of Glenhuntly and used to play some sport at the Ormond oval. We get on pretty well. Andrew and Naomi's boy is named Dylan and he is a real sweety!

It was a pleasant family afternoon and a bit of chat and a couple of drinks.

Trish and I are both almost fully over our colds. An occasional cough or a slight sniffle is all that remains.

We are expecting a late blast of summer later this week with most top temperatures into the low 30's. Overnights will remain cooler though as the humidity has dropped. Overnight temperatures are around the mid to high teens.
